This is nice but is there a way to control the badge better with css? connect.css appears to be used. Can this be adjusted? Mabye I'm misunderstanding because I don't want the badge on the left side of the blog post.

Re: Drupal to WordPress 2.8.4 Conversion

I just fixed the images problem. It turned out that the settings for uploads in miscellaneous was incorrect. This is now fixed and I should be able to add images now. Some article links are still incorrect and this will have to fixed later (I'm tired right now) but at least a new 404 is online to help people understand that some links are bad ....

You are most welcome. We have three core teachers - and all of us are eager to use these machines to help the kids. The other two teachers have not used the machines in the classroom yet but are developing lesson plans. They are also watching to see what goes wrong in the classroom ;)

Yes - your instructions were clear. The biggest challenge was exporting the data from the Drupal database because of the size of the tables. Setting a temporary site up first was the best plan of attack. Thanks again.

Another important plugin for administration (not for your visitors) is the wp-db-backup plugin.

Files were moved to the main domain this morning. The database was changed to the new URL for the WordPress installation and the site is live. This comment is the first on the new WP version of TQ ;)

Thank you d0t. I'll keep playing with technology. I just need to figure out how to get the short bursts onto this site so others can read about them. On my personal site, I have FriendFeed embedded. If this could be filtered better then I'd do the same here.

Since this is the same statement made in the report post complaint, the posts are not ripped from Google Groups. Google does not own the newsgroups but acts as a Gateway- just as this site is a Gateway to those same newsgroups. Contact information is my initials@.

Hi there. Glad you found the post and took the time to say hello. Yes, I saw Diigo calling itself sin(ful).

I discovered after publishing that MPC is taking over the Gateway Tablet PCs - not all is bad :)

Hard to believe that it is time to think about CES 2009.

Re: How Cuil Is It to Misspell Your Brand Name?

lph — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 00:43:16 -0000

I agree that the brand name is rather strange. I remember thinking the same when Google was announced as well as the processor name Celeron. Maybe they'll take your suggestion and go for cool.com -it is far easier to remember!

I can think of two immediate needs. Spam is a consistent challenge whereas a new need is due when social websites are involved, pointing to content. A third need is scrapper and aggregator sites getting greater relevancy in Google because they publish often (despite not being original content).

This is an important question, do we need another search engine? My answer is yes. Search requirements are not static, yet, Google has not responded to new needs.

I agree that these new tools allow for openness. Hopefully, they will also lead to greater depths of discussions.

Re: Sharing or stealing? Students posting text books online

lph — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 11:56:34 -0000

I've been using electronic or digital texts for three years. Initially I was able to move them from one computer to the next. Eventually, the controls on the texts even limited this freedom. After a few attempts, I found sending the pdfs to OneNote allowed me to mark up the text and get around the electronic signatures so the text could be put onto different machines. My only complaint was not getting the PDFs into a form that worked well on the Kindle. The print size was usually too small.

I just discovered your blog through FF. As others have said, the hide feature is very powerful.
